***URGENT***Name for a feisty /firey girl please.

[justnotsure]

Please no chav.

No Blaze,Courtney-May, Minky-Rae etc.

My daughter already does not suit her name it is far to gentle for her even dh agrees (I am amazed by this) but I am flummoxed as to what we could call her instead as we had Nell, Annie, Constance and Dolly on our lists and neither of them fit either.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed, I really want to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later I think we have 5 weeks before we can't change it officially.

Clara or Cleo

Oh Filly - how wonderful - she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air.

The times I've wished I could do that! (The flying away part that is, I pronounce Ineffable Names all the time )

well this one IS feisty

I have to say, iirc xanthe means "yellow" though google thinks it means beautiful maiden

oooo i LOVE lexie.

I bet her mother wished she had MN to ask where she'd gone wrong!

Felicity, the book I'm reading at the moment the woman is called Felicity but they call her Felix.
Also like Eliza (that's the authors name).

at wendy

I translated passages from that stuff as an u/grad and it was always SO funny to have these very ancient, very po-faced professors in at least their 90s correcting us solemly over the correct swear word...

What Bobs? Lulu this poor child is going to be very confused.

yes by about 12 months, dd was actually saying her name, iirc.

that would be my only worry

(though I do love lilith and wish I could have persuaded dp to use it...)

Agree that Lilith doesn't seem that feisty. Also agree that if you do cahnge the name it should be a slight change. My 2 at 11 months definatly knew their names.

I do know a very strong willed lily btw

I like lexie as it is similar -ish to lily.

lexia

I have to say that having been educated on the origins, I think Lilith is a magnificent name.

What about Rosie?

Thats what we called our feisty firey DD. She's got mad curly hair and a mad personality to go with it. You could always use Lily as the middle name.

I like xanthe - not frilly at all....

What about Flick(Felicity)?

going by your input lots of ladies on MN seem to like my name-Petra.

How about Dulcie? I love that name!!

TMMJ - nah I wouldn't worry about changing her name. We called DD almost exclusively by her ridiculous pet name for the first 12-18 months, and she suffered no confusion And sod what other people think. It's really none of their business.

mmj i changed my dd name at 2

she was alexandra and we now call her a derivative - essentially a different name though - it was fine

I knew a ninety year old Dulcie, she was very very feisty. I think it's a great name.

lilith stormed off after Adam wouldn't let her go on top

it makes me want a girl JUST so I can call her Lilith

@ belgo am glad someone else likes dulcie too!!!
